All I'm doing is responding to you and from my perspective you can't seem to handle it.
I suggest you take a few hours rest from the internet. Have a good Sunday afternoon 😉
Gandalf, I expressed sympathy for the family. You are being overly sensitive and ridiculous. Take your break and then maybe reread the responses.
Oh FFS what stuff are you smoking that makes you have these thoughts? Seriously, what sort of 'non-mainstream' sites are you following actually has the 'correct scoop'?
Agree, here is Putins pre war speech
some quotes:
At the same time, technology, including in the defence sector, is changing rapidly. One day there is one leader, and tomorrow another, but a military presence in territories bordering on Russia, if we permit it to go ahead, will stay for decades to come or maybe forever, creating an ever mounting and totally unacceptable threat for Russia.
The problem is that in territories adjacent to Russia, which I have to note is our historical land, a hostile “anti-Russia” is taking shape. Fully controlled from the outside, it is doing everything to attract NATO armed forces and obtain cutting-edge weapons.
For the United States and its allies, it is a policy of containing Russia, with obvious geopolitical dividends. For our country, it is a matter of life and death, a matter of our historical future as a nation. This is not an exaggeration; this is a fact. It is not only a very real threat to our interests but to the very existence of our state and to its sovereignty. It is the red line which we have spoken about on numerous occasions. They have crossed it.
I added bold. He really thought he could walk right into Ukraine and it would be like Crimea. His next step would likely be Moldova.
If he got away with all that without much unity in the West then he would have tested NATO next. It would have been something creative, something he could distance from. Little green men again maybe, Russians living in some neighboring country needing help again..........
Everything possible should be done to help Russia lose this. If they can be sent packing hopefully Putin is overthrown. The West should be hardline and not drop any sanctions without talk of nuclear disarmament. Russia has basically acted as a terrorist state threatening nuclear war and destruction of the planet every second day. Feck that. They can go live like N Korea if they want to play those games.
Do not get me started on this shíte. NWO/Great Reset/World economic forum/5G/Antivax/chemtrails/Bill Gates wants my babies and now pro putin propeller heads. Gobbling up and sharing their bullshít the "mainstream media" won't report and how we're just as censored in the West. While their utterly ridiculous ballsology is hard enough to avoid out there. Clearly we're not so great at censorship folks, but these types are too fúcking stupid to cop this. If I rolled my eyes any harder I could look at the back of my head.
Crap, I got started.... 😁
Does she have anything apart from big bold headlines? Was she really a Democratic candidate?
OK, grand. Well, we'll all just sit back and watch on as people get their homes smashed to bits, innocent people blown up, and a country's sovereignty get trampled, comforted by the warm fuzzy knowledge that Ukraine ain't so hot itself. Shame on you.
Let's hope so, even if it's a messy comprise.
Meeting Putin half way in the short term may be the only way to defeat him in the long term. It's unpalatable, but if he can't be defeated in the short term it's obviously the only option. And it might just save Kiev as a city and Zelensky before he too is killed
I am split: on the one-hand peace would be amazing and on the other it may embolden other rogue states to start annexing sovereign nation.
My fear is that it will become a precedent for would-be dictators
I am starting to believe you glory in exposing your own idiocies
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/russia-s-propaganda-machine-discovers-2020-democratic-candidate-tulsi-gabbard-n964261?icid=related
Several experts who track websites and social media linked to the Kremlin have also seen what they believe may be the first stirrings of an upcoming Russian campaign of support for Gabbard.
Since Gabbard announced her intention to run on Jan. 11, there have been at least 20 Gabbard stories on three major Moscow-based English-language websites affiliated with or supportive of the Russian government: RT, the Russian-owned TV outlet; Sputnik News, a radio outlet; and Russia Insider, a blog that experts say closely follows the Kremlin line. The CIA has called RT and Sputnik part of "Russia's state-run propaganda machine."
Look this is a discussion forum.
If you post something you should prepared for people to respond?
If you can't handle that you can post protected tweets on twitter with responses off.
I don't know what Gabbard's gig is or what she is used for (could be to track and trace internal dissent; could be genuine, I have no clue) but she is far from a fringe figure:
Tulsi Gabbard is a four-term member of the House of Representatives from Hawaii and a veteran. First elected in 2012, she serves on the Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees. She positions herself as an environmentalist and a critic of “regime change wars.”
A major in the Hawaii National Guard, she deployed to Iraq from 2004 to 2005. Born in American Samoa and raised in Hawaii, she is a graduate of Hawaii Pacific University.
That's where the severe sanctions do their job
Putin post knife to Ukrainian throat deal. 'Okay, now the western sanctions can be lifted'.
The West, 'nah, we're grand, thanks.'
My current thoughts.
Send a strike team into Switzerland and take out the little Putins and Putina's.
Let there be no legacy.
Of course Zelensky has just invaded a neighbouring country for no reason.
But but but Ukraine isn’t perfect so it’s actually worse than Russia.
Can you tell me how it feels to be a gullible patsy for blatant propaganda?
Yeah, I actually did know she was a Dem primary candidate in 2020, I just didn't express my surprise at her somewhat odd position clearly enough.
I would love her to tell that to the dead children in Ukraine
So you’ve got a conspiracy theory about Putin planning with the rest of the world both Covid and attacking Ukraine. Conspiracy theory forum is that away ——>
Discuss it .....
Why do you disagree with the shutting down of TV stations which are operating as propaganda Machines for a regime you are basically in war with for the past Eight years
Why do you disagree house arrest being put on a person who:
"is accused of transferring oil and gas production licenses from one of the fields in Crimea to Russian authorities. Russia annexed the Black Sea peninsula in 2014, weeks after Ukraine's former Moscow-friendly president was ousted by protesters.
Medvedchuk is also charged with allegedly disclosing secret data on the deployment of Ukrainian military units last year.''
That video was posted on the 10th of February. The whole “there’s no Russian plot to topple the Ukrainian government” really hasn’t aged well over the past three weeks, has it?
Good response!
Where is @Yurt2 when you need him. He was also great at dealing with the trolls!
An analyst on Russian affairs on the RTE's This Week at lunchtime was saying that any 'negotiations' with the Russians at the moment are just a sham on their side and a cynical PR move. They are pathological liars and couldn't be trusted for even a second. Anything they supposedly sign up to wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on.
So, send a death squad to Switzerland to murder Putin's children and grandchildren?
Right.
I find it telling that she expresses opinions about a really tragic humanitarian situation while smirking smugly. That's the narcissism of the contrarian truth-seeker, right there.
It is more important to score political points than to take a moment to acknowledge the untold human tragedy that is associated with these points
I'll take the 'accusations' in the video delivered by Gabbard in order.
Gabbard is a dolt and her "mAinSTReam MEdiA" schtick is designed to appeal to low-IQ Trumpite GOP soccer moms who don't have a breeze about the world and the mendacity of the Putinist system - but will trust Gabbard because she has nice hair and is a 'boss girl.'
Swallow this nonsense at your peril. Ukraine is a democracy - an imperfect one- but persisting under the kosh of hybrid warfare for over a decade in the face of a fascist irredentist neighbour.
Confirmed, one US journalist killed
As are you...
